Chicken Souvlaki Salad (Kabob Week Day 4)

Chicken Souvlaki Salad

Welcome to Day 4 of Kabob week! So, I don't think that I timed Kabob week very well... this is my third week of graduate school and I'm still trying to adjust. Time is a very important thing right now, and I just don't seem to find enough time for everything! Between work, school, homework, I don't have much time for anything else right now. And I haven't quite figured out how to make everything work just yet. So in the midst of a very busy week, I'm trying to find minutes here and there to update my blog!

Well, we're having chicken souvlaki salad today! I absolutely adore Greek food and I wish that I had it more often. Though I prefer gyros, if I don't have that as an option, I do like to have souvlaki. And because I probably won't ever make my own gyros the way that restaurants make them, I will make souvlaki instead.

I found this recipe over at Closet Cooking awhile back and was excited to try this recipe. It sounded simple and flavorful, everything that I look for when trying out a new recipe! ;-) It doesn't hurt that it sounded healthy too.

Instead of using Kevin's recipe for tzatziki, I used the recipe that I received while attending Albuquerque's Greek Festival several years ago. This recipe makes a TON of sauce, which we ended up not eating all of, so you might want to halve the recipe if you don't have plans for the leftovers.

I hope you've been enjoying Kabob week so far! One more day to go, and I'm sharing an absolutely delicious recipe for tomorrow that has me giddy!
